 INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS STAR WARS: THE ROLEPLAYING GAME?
Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game was written and published by the now-
defunct West End Games (WEG) between 1987 and 1999. It utilized the
D6 System, also by WEG.
Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game established much of the groundwork of
what later became the Star Wars Expanded Universe. Lucasfilm
considered West End Games' Star Wars sourcebooks so authoritative
they sent Timothy Zahn a box of the books as reference material for the
Thrawn trilogy. Many well-known alien names (such as Twi'lek, Rodian,
and Quarren) appeared for the first time in WEG's books. This legacy
remains, even with the 2014 reboot of the canon lore.
WHAT IS HYPERSPACED6?
HyperspaceD6 is a heavily modified, streamlined, and stripped-down
version of WEG’s Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game. Utilizing house rules
and hacks from across the community and my own game table,
HyperspaceD6 seeks to further modernize WEG’s classic RPG and
present it in a simplified, easy-to-pick-up package, with a
narrative/cinematic focus and cues taken from more recent iterations of
Star Wars RPGs.
WHAT’S DIFFERENT?
HyperspaceD6, in addition to presenting the rules in a much slimmer
package, has a few major departures from the game as you know it.
● Pip modifiers removed.
● Wild Die renamed Destiny Die.
● The Force attribute added.
● Skill list pared down and simplified.
● Static defenses added.
● Special abilities replaced with skill focuses.
● Range bands replace distances.
● Simplified combat and vehicle rules.
● Minion group rules added.
● Rules for lightsaber duels added.

And finally, to you, the one reading this – thanks for bringing HyperspaceD6 to
your table, rolling fistfuls of dice, and carrying on a 30-year legacy of Star Wars
RPGs.
May the Force be with you.
 THE BASICS
D6 SYSTEM
HyperspaceD6 utilizes the same D6 System that made Star Wars: The
Roleplaying Game so simple to play, run, and modify. It uses six-sided
dice (D6s) exclusively. When you attempt something challenging, you roll
a number of D6s equal to the appropriate attribute and skill. After
rolling, you add up your total and compare that to a target number (TN)
– if you meet or exceed that number, you succeed!
ATTRIBUTES AND SKILLS
Characters in HyperspaceD6 have six attributes: Dexterity (DEX),
Knowledge (KNO), Mechanical (MEC), Perception (PER), Strength (STR),
and Technical (TEC). Some characters also have access to a seventh
attribute: The Force (FOR). Each attribute is assigned a number, called a
dice code, which denotes the number of dice you roll with that attribute
(e.g., a character with a DEX of 3D rolls three D6s on Dexterity checks).
Each attribute also has associated skills, which add their own dice
codes. Skills further focus your character’s abilities and add additional
dice to checks (e.g., a character with a DEX of 3D and a Blasters skill of
2D would roll a Blasters check with 5D).
CALCULATING DICE CODES
Skill dice codes usually include the linked attribute. When determining
your dice pool for a skill check or calculating defenses, always use the
combined dice code of the skill and attribute together. When calculating
the cost of improving a skill, do not include the linked attribute.
DEFENSES
Characters also have a set of static defenses, which function like TNs when
attacked but also reduce incoming damage. The defenses are Dodge (based on
Agility), Parry (based on Melee), Block (based on Brawl), and Soak (based on
Stamina, with bonuses from armor).
DESTINY DIE
For every skill check, one of the D6s rolled must be a different color than the
others. This is the Destiny Die. It represents the Force and the pull of luck and
fate in the Star Wars universe. It behaves like any other die, adding its total to
the final result. A roll of 1 on the Destiny Die, however, denotes consequences,
while a 6 denotes rewards. It is possible to succeed on a roll and still suffer
setbacks; likewise, it is possible to fail and gain an advantage.
SCENES AND ROUNDS
Scenes represent non-combat narratives. Scenes might encompass minutes,
hours, or even days, and characters act in whatever order they wish. Rounds are
six seconds of combat or other action-oriented encounters (such as a chase),
and characters take turns declaring and resolving actions in initiative order.
ACTIONS
Most things are considered actions. You can always take a single action without
consequence – but you can also push your luck and attempt multiple actions.
Each round, you declare your actions on your turn. For each action taken
beyond the first, reduce all rolls for the round by -1D. The number of additional
actions possible per round is limited to your Dexterity (e.g. a character with 3D
DEX can take a maximum of four actions each round – an initial action, plus
three additional actions).
RANGE BANDS
HyperspaceD6 uses range bands to abstractly represent movement and
distance. The five range bands are: engaged, short range, medium range, long
range, and extreme range. A character can move between two bands on their
turn for free – further movement costs actions.

CHARACTER POINTS AND FORCE POINTS ERAS OF PLAY

Character Points are awarded to players for stellar roleplay and The Star Wars universe is rich in history and lore and encompasses
furthering the story. When you spend a Character Point to alter a roll, many thousands of years. HyperspaceD6 assumes an era of play
you roll one extra die. You can only spend one Character Point per roughly congruent with the timeline of the original film trilogy – the reign

their Force attribute (or 1, if they don’t have the Force attribute). When
you spend a Force Point, your character uses all of their concentration
to succeed, and whether they know it or not, draw upon the Force.
When you spend a Force Point, you roll double the number of dice you
would normally roll. Force Points reset at the beginning of each session.
You can only spend one Force Point per round.

Alternatively, a Force-sensitive character can spend a Force Point to do

something extraordinary using the Force – lifting an X-Wing
telepathically, leaping a great distance, throwing their lightsaber, etc.
See page 16 for more on Force Points.

CINEMATIC STYLE
Above all else, HyperspaceD6 seeks to evoke the feel of the Star Wars
films – larger-than-life heroes pulling off daring maneuvers and surviving
incredible odds. Narrative, cinematic gameplay is the focus. Rather than
agonizing over how many meters away the stormtrooper is, describe
the heat of the blaster bolts sizzling by, the harsh static of the Imperial
comms. Instead of tracking the positions of fighters in a dogfight,
visualize the hectic back-and-forth, a TIE fighter’s twin ion engines
howling past, laser fire from the X-wing’s quad cannons barely missing
its solar panels. Always put fun and excitement first – this is Star Wars,
after all.

 CHARACTER ADVANCEMENT
GAINING CHARACTER POINTS
The GM can award Character Points (CPs) to players for immersive
roleplaying, clever problem-solving, and collaborating with other players.
Players should also receive CPs for completing tasks, defeating enemies,
and furthering the story of the campaign. In general, each player should
receive between 2 and 4 Character Points per session.
SPENDING CHARACTER POINTS
At the end of each session, players can spend Character Points to
improve attributes, skills, gear, and vehicles. Character Points carry over
between sessions and can be saved to use later.
UPGRADE CP COST
+1D Skill 3X New Dice Code
code (e.g., improving a Dexterity attribute of 1D to 2D costs 18 CPs).
Each attribute can only be improved by +1D at a time.
IMPROVING GEAR AND VEHICLES
With enough time and resources, you can choose to spend CPs to make
upgrades and modifications to gear and vehicles, improving their stats.
When doing so, spend 6 CPs times the new dice code or attribute to
improve a piece of gear or a vehicle by +1D or +1, depending on the
nature of the improvement. At the GM’s discretion, you may also have to
acquire additional parts or resources, and an Armament or Vehicles
check may also be required. See page 23 for more.
UNLOCKING THE FORCE
Sometimes, characters don’t realize their potential in the Force until it
awakens within them. A character can spend 20 Character Points to add
+1D to the Force attribute and unlock its use.

+1D Attribute 9X New Dice Code

+1D/+1 to Gear/Vehicle 6X New Dice Code/Attribute

IMPROVING SKILLS
Improving a skill by +1D costs 3 CPs times the skill’s new dice code (e.g.,
improving a Blaster skill of 1D to 2D costs 6 CPs). Each skill can only be
improved by +1D at a time. When improving a skill, do not include the
linked attribute while calculating the cost.

IMPROVING ATTRIBUTES
Improving an attribute by +1D costs 9 CPs times the attribute’s new dice
 SKILL CHECKS

MAKING A SKILL CHECK OPPOSED SKILL CHECKS

When a character attempts something challenging, the GM calls for a
skill check. The player gathers a number of dice equal to the dice code
of the applicable attribute and skill, rolls them, and adds up the results.
If the total is equal to or greater than the target number, the skill check
succeeds.
One die in each skill check must be a different color than the other dice
– this is the Destiny Die, which represents luck, fate, and the influence of
the Force. The result of the Destiny Die adds to your total like any other
die, but if the Destiny Die result is 1, something bad happens; if the
result is 6, something good happens. The GM and player decide
together what the Destiny Die result means and how it manifests.
TARGET NUMBERS
Target numbers are static numbers characters try to meet or exceed
with their rolls. Most basic skill checks have TNs between 10 and 20.
LEVEL TN EXAMPLES
Very Easy 5 Piloting in open space, recalling well-known lore
Easy 10 Unlocking a simple door, fixing minor damage
Moderate 15 Identifying obscure tech, spotting hidden clues
When a character opposes another character’s check, they both roll and
compare results. The highest roll wins, and players win ties against
NPCs.
COMBINED ACTIONS
When multiple characters make a skill check together, the character
with the highest dice code rolls, adding +1D for each character or NPC
assisting them, within reason.
MULTIPLE ACTIONS
When a character attempts multiple actions in a short time (such as
during a round of combat), each skill check is rolled with -1D for each
action beyond the first. A character can only take a number of additional
actions equal to their Dexterity.
MODIFYING CHECKS
The GM can add or subtract a single die from a skill check to represent
advantageous or disadvantageous conditions. A character taking time to
aim, for example, adds +1D to a skill check with their blaster rifle;
conversely, a character firing off a shot from the back of a speeding
repulsor train might make the Blasters check with -1D.

VEHICLE DAMAGE
When one vehicle attacks another, the character manning the weapon
makes a Gunnery check (adding the vehicle’s Firepower dice code to the
roll) and compares the result to the target’s Evade. On a success, they
roll damage, as indicated by the vehicle’s weapon.
The damage is compared against the target vehicle’s Hull and Shields
and reduced by a number equal to both. The target vehicle takes any
remaining damage, suffering effects based on the amount of damage as
compared to their Hull (see the following table).
A vehicle can sustain a number of damaged systems equal to its Hull
before becoming disabled.
SHIELDS
Some vehicles, like many starships, have a number of Shields they can
distribute among all four directions (fore, aft, port, and starboard). By
default, the shields are distributed evenly among the four sections (e.g.
a starfighter with Shields 4 would have 1 Shield in each section). Shields,
like armor on a character, reduce the amount of damage taken, but only
for the section to which they’re assigned.
As an action, a character aboard a vehicle can angle the deflector
shields, redistributing the points among the four sections (e.g. if a TIE
fighter pursues a YT-1300 light freighter, firing upon the aft section of
the ship, a character could angle the deflector shields and distribute all
Shields to the aft section, further reducing damage of attacks made
from that direction).

 UPGRADING GEAR AND VEHICLES
SPENDING CHARACTER POINTS
Character Points, in addition to improving checks and advancing
characters, can also be spent to upgrade equipment such as weapons,
armor, even vehicles. Doing so typically requires 6 CPs times the new
dice code or attribute of the gear or vehicle. Typically, upgrading gear
and vehicles can only be done with sufficient downtime and with access
to necessary tools and materials. More involved or intricate upgrades
and modifications, such as installing a cloaking field or similar tech that
adds new abilities, may require additional CPs at the GM’s discretion.
POOLING CHARACTER POINTS
Upgrading equipment, particularly vehicles, can be a costly endeavor. A
crew aboard a starship might opt to save and pool their character
points to install a concussion missile launcher aboard their U-Wing, or
increase its shields.
UPGRADING WEAPONS AND ARMOR
When upgrading a weapon (adding a scope or rangefinder, boosting its
power output, adding a cooling system, etc.), increase its damage by
+1D. For additional CPs or by spending extra time and credits, you can
instead try to add a new special feature to the weapon (i.e. making a
heavy blaster pistol capable of auto-firing). When upgrading armor
(adding additional plating, installing a personal shield generator, etc.),
increase its soak by +1. When upgrading weapons and armor, an
Armament check might be called for, depending on the nature of the
modification or improvement.
UPGRADING VEHICLES
Making modifications and improvements to starships and speeders is a
more involved and time-consuming process than upgrading weapons or
armor. When upgrading a vehicle, you have several options:
● UPGRADE ATTRIBUTE: You can choose to spend CPs to
increase a vehicle’s Mobility, Sensors, or Firepower. Doing so
typically also increases the vehicle’s Evade and Hull.
● UPGRADE WEAPON: You can choose to spend CPs to upgrade
a single weapon on a vehicle, increasing its damage by +1D.
● INSTALL NEW COMPONENT: You can also spend CPs to install
a new weapon, spending CPs equal to 6 times N×(N+1)/2 where
N is the new weapon’s damage dice code. Or, you can work with
your GM to design and install an entirely new component, like a
cloaking field, radar jammer, or hyperspace dampener.
● UPGRADE SHIELDS: You can choose to spend CPs to upgrade
a vehicle’s shields, if it already has shields installed. Doing so
increases a vehicle’s Shields by +1.

 LIGHTSABER DUELS
WHEN TO USE THESE RULES
A duel between two lightsaber-wielding Force-users is not a traditional
combat – it’s more akin to a test of wills. These standoffs pit two or more
Force-users against one another, utilizing martial prowess as well as
tactics, techniques, and Force powers to gain the upper hand. When
staging a climactic duel, as seen time and again in the Star Wars films,
consider using these rules for lightsaber duels rather than the standard
combat rules.
RUNNING A DUEL
When a duel breaks out between two or more lightsaber-wielding
combatants, each character rolls Perception to determine the initiative
order, as with standard combat rules. The duel then proceeds in
rounds, similar to combat, but more nebulous in how much time
passes.
On their turn, a combatant declares their action and makes an opposed
check to determine success. It could be as simple as pressing the
offensive with their lightsaber (an opposed Melee check) or
telepathically hurling crates (an opposed Alter check); or it could be
something more nuanced, like goading their opponent into a rage (an
opposed Deceive check) or leaping across platforms to gain a more
advantageous position (an opposed Athletics check).
Each side starts with one duel die. When a combatant succeeds on an
opposed check, they add one additional duel die to their side’s pool.
DUEL DICE
Duel dice represent your momentum in the duel – the advantages
you’ve gained through mastery of your lightsaber, strategy, and the
Force.
Much like the lightsaber duels in the Star Wars films, duels using these
rules tend to end suddenly and explosively. On their turn, if they feel
they can conceivably beat their opponent, a combatant can choose to
end the duel and roll their side’s duel dice, making a final, decisive
action. Their opponent then does the same. The higher roll wins the
duel. You cannot use Character Points or Force Points to alter this final
roll.
ENDING A DUEL
When either opponent chooses to roll their duel dice, the duel ends,
and a victor emerges. The winner of this roll decides the outcome – they
can wound their opponent, disarm them, or even knock them
unconscious and leave them for dead.
THE DESTINY DIE IN DUELS
When a combatant rolls a 6 on their Destiny Die, they can choose to
alter the landscape of the duel, introducing environmental hazards or
shifting the location. In doing so, they put their opponent at a
disadvantage, and can take a die from their pool of duel dice and add it
to their own.
Likewise, when a combatant rolls a 1 on their Destiny Die, their
opponent can introduce a new complication, stealing a duel die from
their pool.
DUEL PHASES
Duels in Star Wars are grand, epic affairs, often taking place across
multiple locations and interspersed with scenes from elsewhere in the
story. Instead of ending a duel outright when the duel dice are rolled,
you can choose to run the duel across multiple phases, introducing a
new location along with different complications after each roll of the
duel dice (consider the duels in The Empire Strikes Back or The Phantom
Menace for inspiration – comprising multiple scenes, spanning different
locations, and ending in explosive climaxes).
